Hate mail from jws
by dedpoet inhi, i rarely post on this forum nowadays, as linda (fullofdoubtnow) tends to do the posting from this house, but i decided to post this myself.
i am currently building an information website for local ex jws, along with a couple of ex jw friends, and recently received a couple of emails from a current jw who, according to him, stumbled on the site by accident, although it clearly states that it is an ex jw site.
he found an article i had written on jw child abuse policy objectionable, although everything i have written, both in that article and the rest of the site, is verifiable, which i told him in my reply.

How do they determine who is inactive?
by I.Wonder ini am still "in" the org (technically) and i have never got the same answer twice.
i have been told that if you don't report time for one month then your considered inactive for six months.
i have also been told that if you don't report for six months then your inactive.

by Brymichmom inthis was posted on an email group that i belong to.
since the author doesn't belong to this one, i asked if i could copy and paste the post here, and this poster said "yes".
so here we go, with permission:.

I have relatives in NYC and I know for a fact that some wittnesses did die. They personally knew at least one of them. Following 9/11, the talks I heard were encouraging in the sense that they stressed that anyone can be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Dying in something such as 9/11 is not a reflection on loosing Jah's favor, and surviving the attacks does not indicate special treatment (angelic protection). "Time and unforseen occurances befall us all".
What you heard was the product of immature, stupid people talking about things they know nothing about.

The insert in this months KM is 4 pages of revisions for the Rev. book I am going over them one by one. Most seem pretty insignificant, updated figures and such. Others deal with the change in the 'sheep and goats' separating work, deleting Math. 25: 31-33 in several places.
Of note is a change on the "peace and security" proclamation mentioned at 1Thes. 5:3. On page 251, paragraph 14 used to read:
"What form will the significant cry of "Peace and Security" take? It is here mentioned as being outstanding just before the sudden destruction of those making the cry.It will have to be something more pronounced than any previous declarations by world leaders. No doubt it will be on a world-wide scale. Yet, it will be no more than a facade. Underneath, nothing will really have changed."
The change in the insert reads:
"In recent years, polititians have used the phrase "peace and security", to describe various human schemes. Do such efforts by world leaders constitute the begining of the fulfillment of 1 Thes. 5:3? Or was Paul refering only to a specific event of such damatic proportions that it will claim world attention? Since Bible prophesies are often completly understood after thay are fulfilled or in the course of fulflillment, we will have to wait and see. MEanwhile, Christians know that whatever peace and security nations may appear to have achieved, basically nothing will have changed."
So, what do you guys thin? Are they downplaying the "peace and security" thing? Are they disengaging it from the great tribulation like they disengaged 1914 from the "generation"? Is this the first this has ben said? Have I missed something? Do you read in this change that the proclamation could have alrady been made? I bet many will be disapponted. We have long been told to be waiting for the p and s proclamation to start off Armaggedon. Will anyone even notice the change? I think this is a biggie.

Your going to the meetings whether you like it or not!
by Atlantis inyour going to the meetings whether you like it or not!
thousands of jehovah's witness children have heard those threatening words backed-up with spankings, whippings, or even severe beatings.
but what if they are too small to understand?

I remember asking my mom when I was little if I would get hurt if I fell off of a mountain in the new system. She told me that a perfect person would know better than to fall off of a mountain.
No joke, she really said that.
